Extra after school
Chorus rehearsals April 23 (all) & April 30 (7th/8th
graders)

Things will start to get busy for your middle school musicians,
especially if they participate in sports. Chorus will continue to rehearse
every Monday after school. In addition, we will offer Chorus Clinic every
Thursday morning starting Thursday April 9th. Students are not
required to come to morning Chorus Clinic, however, it is a great time for
vocalists to catch up that miss afterschool rehearsals or study halls. Of course
students should be practicing on their own using our online tools. We will add
two special Thursday afterschool rehearsals to put the finishing touches on our
concert. April 23 for all chorus students and April 30th for 7th
and 8th graders. Don’t forget to check out our choral spotlights.
The kids have been having a great time making recordings in study hall.
